With the Sonos Arc, Beam and others working quite well with the Arc connection, has anyone hooked up a surround receiver in the same way? That is, use the TV for HDMI input selection and use the stock TV or cable box remote for automatic power on/off and volume control. I have a feeling Yamaha receiver will not turn off when the TV turns off but are there other surround receivers that will?

YMMV....
Last year, we where requested to do just that
Sony TV
Yamaha AVR
Spectrum STB
And a Sony DVD player
and by golly after tinkering around for a few minutes
It is 95% reliable.

What were your troubles? Did the receiver turn on and off with the TV? I wonder too if the Amp can be set to TV input automatically when the TV turns on.

Mainly it was changing sources
You/the user needs to use the input button
And sometimes that seemed to “not work” ever time
As far as I know, cause she has not called back
Spectrum STB to Sony Tv to Yamaha AVR has worked very well, using the Spectrum remote...
